MMD Archives March 1997 1997.03.08 12 Prev  Next Automata Connected to Juke Box By Jerry Slonsky Hi . . . I'm not exactly sure of what it's called, but I remember as a child (50's) a "band box" in our favorite restaurant in Akron, Ohio. When someone played the juke box the curtain would open to reveal five or six small figures moving and playing different instruments. They would appear to be playing to the music. When the record ended the light would go off and the curtain would close, and the little people would wait for someone to put another nickel in the nickelodeon. I'd love to buy one if available and not outrageous in price. Thanks on any information that maybe available. Jerslon@aol.com (Message sent Sat 8 Mar 1997, 12:42:01 GMT, from time zone GMT-0500.) Key Words in Subject:  Automata, Box, Connected, Juke
